- egypturnash 2y agoIf the building's dense enough then you have a built-in set of regular customers. Especially if, say, you're a restaurant in the middle of a building with super-tiny kitchens in the apartments, like the ones described in the link.
- lotsoweiners 2y agoCall it a speakeasy. People seem to love overpriced, secret businesses.
- BobaFloutist 2y agoI mean they'd have a built in customer base, and the workers would have an enviable commute, no? Delivery costs could also be super cheap.
- triceratops 2y agoA bar that's only an elevator ride away sounds pretty sweet.
- jen20 2y agoThey manage it in Asia without a problem. Hong Kong and Seoul are full of such places.
- HKH2 2y agoIn HK, it probably works because you usually have lots of competing businesses in the same place.
- weberer 2y agoThis is how it works in Japan. I thought it was quite nice when I visited. You just enter the elevator at the ground floor, and every button has a store name next to it. You get some pretty nice views when dining on the 15th floor of a building in Akihabara.
